This tends to be very context dependent; I don’t know enough about biology to estimate. The main caution here is that people tend to forget about regression to the mean (if you have a local measurement X that’s only partly related to Y, you should not just port your estimate from X over to Y, but move it closer to what you would have expected from Y beforehand).
